Dawn came quick. It didn't take hours into the morning for me to hear a car pull up in the driveway, announcing the arrival of Mr and Mrs Williams.They sure had returned earlier than I expected. Without wasting much time, I hurried into one of the bathrooms, running myself a bath. I proceeded downstairs afterwards, and found Mrs Williams sat on the couch going through random stuff."Good morning ma'am" I greeted warmly. Her gaze was still away from me, while she searched through the stack of things in front of her. "Is it okay for me to go see my mom?" I questioned. "Of course." She responded, voice sounding distressed.She turned around to me, a blank expression on her face. The lady looked a bit disturbed which only got me wondering whatever was wrong. Could the affairs of business be taking its toll on her. It was just as expected from people so influential as the 'Williams' "Thank you for staying with the kids." she added in a soft voice. She soon left the living room, g
Walking into the mansion with happiness I hadn't felt in a long while, taking hold of my whole body. Mom was better now. The transplant had been carried out successfully, and at this moment, life's just as good. Stepping into the living room, I found it empty upon my entrance.Perhaps, the kids had all gone to school. I hurried into the kitchen, meeting the maids over there, some cooking, others standing by a corner waiting to be ordered. "Get to work immediately, Nia" Miss Tara yelled at my figure."clean and tidy all the rooms""Every one of them" She spoke.Yeah, yeah, yeah. Time to begin another round of turmoil, a voice uttered in my head. Oh, what wonders await you now? I thought.Following her orders, I wore my apron at once, picking up a broom and duster, and then proceeding out of the kitchen, moving to the rooms to begin cleaning. I was almost done with cleaning all the rooms, and a lot of time had passed. The sound of chatters, echoed all around the house, and the fi
Two days had passed since The heart transplant was done. "Where's Tara?" I heard Mrs Williams utter to me, while proceeding down the stairs. "In the kitchen." She took a pause after my response, eyes looking around the living room.The floors sparkled with a glint, mirroring the reflection of light from any angle. Yes. Just, yes. It took me two hours getting those floors scrubbed. Every gratitude must be properly meted to my fingers, which by now have already turned sore, yearning to have a rest. "I'll be leaving the house now" Mrs Williams announced to me. "Will be back soon" She added in a low voice. The day had turned dark already, silence ringing in the environment all around, and still, I wasn't done with my chores. My gaze turned to the figure of Denna walking into the living room, appearing all ready to leave."It's getting late. You should consider taking a rest" she stated, her eyes outlooking the night sky from the windows in the living room. "No, I'm totally fine
The figures of Tyler and Logan appeared in the living room, backpacks hung on their shoulders, both engaged in a conversation.Ashley who was proceeding down the stairs, paid no attention to anyone, just typing away on the phone in her hands. She stepped out of the house not quite long after, while Tyler and Logan still remained back in the living room, chattering to each other. Cameron joined them in a short while, Savannah walking by his side. I pretended to be busy with the furnitures, dusting, just as they walked into the living room. "Now I know where those noises I heard last night were coming from" Tyler flashed a grin at his brother, eyes accessing the figure of Savannah. "She slept here? Wait till mom and dad find out." He added with a smirk on his face. All of his words seemed not to have any effect whatsoever on Cameron, as that prude ignored him, turning to Savannah. "Did you guys use protection?" Logan joked, laughing and bumping fists with Tyler. "You both know y
THIRD PERSON POV... The approach of Savannah from the other end of the hallway caused Ashley giving an eye-roll, already catching on to the arrival of trouble. "If it isn't miss I-wanna-belong." Ashley uttered with a fake smile plastered on her lips, eyes examining the figure of the girl stood feet away. "You really think I wanna be seen with your clique?" Followed the response of Savannah, her voice filled with disdain. "You're getting it all wrong Ashley" Savannah began, clicking her tongue. "You know, I could make everything you think you've worked for shatter in just a second...... So if I were you, I would watch my mouth, before I slap the british life out of you" She added. "Too bad you're not me" Ashley responded, taking a step closer to her. "You seem to run your mouth so fast, but you're forgetting something""You're in my house! And I could throw you out faster than you could say bitch!""I'm here for Cameron" Savannah cut in. "So please go get..."It's just a matter
There's nothing much better than waking up to a beautiful Saturday morning, with birds chirping and singing by your window side, right?.Trust me, it felt so good. I turned in bed, hearing the sound of my mom's voice beckon to me. "Nia, breakfast is ready." She called from the kitchen. A beautiful day it was, the aroma of my mom's cooking filling my nostrils, confirming the goodness of dawn. Getting out of bed slowly, a weak yawn escaped my lips, while my hands rubbed at my eyes which were still yearning for more sleep. Stepping out of my room, I proceeded into the little bathroom mom and I shared to run myself a warm bath. Not long after half an hour of me washing and undergoing a round of thoughts while in the bath, I got changed into proper clothes, and then made my way to the kitchen. I found mom over there, busy making toast. She was back to her usual act of getting food ready, just in time for me to have my breakfast, right before leaving. Her gaze took in my figure as
Sunday went by so quick, and then came Monday, resumption of work, resumption of aches and worries.I got to the Williams mansion earlier than usual. The house being eerily silent upon my entrance. Not a single figure could be seen around.Grabbing my apron from the rack where it was hung, I commenced my round of duties. Few of the maids, I spotted roaming around getting one thing done or the other. An hour in, and I still didn't hear the voice of Ms Tara yammering about one thing or the other. If it wasn't the floors not properly scrubbed, it would be the walls bearing stains. Maybe, just maybe she had decided to give it all a rest on this fine Monday. Very unlikely of her.The sound of a car pulling up in the driveway, got me peering out through the window of the living room, wanting to check on whoever it was. Realizing it could be Mrs Williams who had returned home, I hurried up with the dusting, hastening up at once. The door tore open, and next came in a figure. Cameron.
We arrived at my apartment not long after leaving the mansion, the silence we began the journey with, still ensuing amongst us. Just how impossible was he? The question lingered in my heart while I stole a glance at his profile. Grabbing the keys from the back pocket of my pants, I unlocked the door at once, its hinges creaking a little, just as my fingers pushed open the doorway. I noted the absence of mom, which meant she either went grocery shopping, or was out visiting her therapist. After the surgery, the doctor had advised her to pay a visit to the therapist twice a week so as to improve on her health. My mother never for once liked laying her troubles to anyone, certainly not a therapist, but after the surgery, all of that seemed to change.Cameron walked in slowly after me, his eyes surveying the living room."Nice apartment" I heard him say, meanwhile, his eyes peered intently into mine. I could tell he was only mocking me. This house was nothing compared to his. His
